I don't get the pricing here. The Lite model, which is just the same with a lower res screen, half the SSD size and half the RAM is less than $800. I don't believe all these differences amount to $1000. IGZO screens are simply not THAT expensive, memory is dirty cheep and SSDs have a nearly constant price per GB, so I feel someone's trying to rip me with this price.

I also can't understand where's the 15" version. There was one when this was called Series 9, and it's exactly what I want. QHD+ is plenty of resolution for 15" and Sharp makes IGZO screens of that size.

You are paying for the exclusivity, something which will be ploughed back to R&D. And why would Samsung use IGZO?
